Well for a while now the dually has been pulling to the right slightly and I noticed some accelerated inside tire wear on the left front tire which tells me the left front is scrubbing. I checked the front suspension and nothing is excessivly worn or loose so I think it is time to pull out my race car alignment tools and true things up. I have a flat slab to sit the truck on to measure the toe in/out and camber and such but I need the specs as my manuals does not list any? I am thinking about 1/8 inch toe-in per side and probably 0 degrees camber would be about right? Does this sound about right for a stock height dually, 2000 with stock suspension? Thanks for the help.

caster is dependent on frame angle..

got a self-leveling protractor? (like the kind they use in building roof trusses)

Thanks for the input. I have a caster gauge so I think what I'll do is check to make sure both sides are the same. The rule of thumb is more caster means more stability, less caster means less stability or easier to turn.
